Cleisocentron
''Cleisocentron'' is a genus of flowering plants from the orchid family, Orchidaceae. It has a disjunct distribution, known from the Himalayas, Vietnam, China and Borneo. Description The species of this genus are tropical epiphytes with a pendent or erect habit. The leaves may be terete or broad. Both types of leaves may occur on the same specimen, as some species exhibit leaf polymorphy.Pridgeon, A., Cribb, P., Chase, M., & Rasmussen, F. (2014)"Genera Orchidacearum Volume 6: Epidendroideae (Part 3)."pp. 158-161 OUP Oxford. Three species have blue flowers, but other colours, such as pink and white also occur. Etymology The generic name is derived from the Greek ''kleistos'' meaning closed, as well as ''kentron'' meaning spur.Teoh, E.S. (2021). ''Cleisocentron'' Bruhl.. In: Orchid Species from Himalaya and Southeast Asia Vol. 1 (A - E). pp 199–201. Springer, Cham. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-58872-4_30 The name relates to the morphology of the spurred labellum. Ec ...

List Of Orchidaceae Genera
This is a list of genera in the orchid family (Orchidaceae), originally according tThe Families of Flowering Plants- L. Watson and M. J. Dallwitz. This list is adapted regularly with the changes published in the ''Orchid Research Newsletter'' which is published twice a year by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The most up to date list of accepted; genera, natural nothogenera, species and natural nothospecies with their synonyms can be found on the World Checklist of Selected Plants FamilieSearch Pagepublished by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. This list is reflected on Wikispecies Species:Orchidaceae, Orchidaceae and the new eMonocot websitOrchidaceae Juss. This Taxonomy (biology), taxonomy undergoes constant change, mainly through evidence from DNA study. Orchids were traditionally defined by morphological similarity (structure of their flowers and other parts). However, recent changes to nomenclature have been driven primarily by DNA studies and also by re-examination of herbarium ...

Aeridinae
In the botanical classification of plants, Aeridinae Pfitzer (formerly Sarcanthinae) is a subtribe of the tribe Vandeae (Family Orchidaceae) whose representatives all have a monopodial growth habit and do not possess pseudobulbs. This subtribe is a monophyletic group within Vandeae, and it contains more than 1,300 species in 103 genera, including about 208 (38%) hybrid genera. They occur mostly in Asia with a few in Africa. They are distinguished from the other subtribes of Vandeae by having an entire rostellum, a relatively small spur formed by the lip, and four (or two) pollinia. Some of the genera it contains have some of the largest and most spectacular flowers in the whole of the orchid family. Also included in this subtribe are some of the most economically important genera in the horticultural trade, such as ''Phalaenopsis'' and '' Vanda''. Leaflessness Aeridinae contains the largest diversity of leafless taxa within the tribe Vandeae. These leafless species of the ...
